The Closed River Continental Shelf, which was originally an area with a total area of 700,000 square kilometers, is a standard shallow sea continental shelf with a depth of three to six meters in spring and summer.

But in autumn, as the temperature drops, the sea level drops due to the massive accumulation of water under the tectonic plates by insect swarms in the north and south poles in order to absorb the planet's resources. At the beginning of Sequence 88, the Closed River Continental Shelf became a solid land of permafrost and semi-glaciation in winter. On the seabed silt were large crystals of bifurcated ice, on which heavy weapons could be heard, and the clatter of shattering could be heard. Beneath the hard surface is sparse soil. In spring and summer, the dinghys of both sides fought fiercely here, and now, after the tide recedes each day, it is easy to see the metal wreckage embedded in the mud.

Here is the key to the war, the control of important roads and strongholds. Of course, it is not the turn of the third-rate corps of the Rust Base to be stationed in such an important place.

On August 17th,

The Rust Expeditionary Force arrived at the garrison one month earlier than the time stipulated by the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Alliance, and the commander of another third-rate unit that was originally stationed here saw the arrival of the Rust Expeditionary Force, red rosacea, and gave the successor of the successor "Brother has worked hard for you", and then quickly withdrew with his troops. Obviously can't wait to go to the rear to enjoy the wine and the bionic Maihime.

Leader Island, well, in winter, can be called Leader Fortress. It sounds majestic, but it's actually five 300-meter-high limestone hills.

With the island as the center, the surrounding area of 3,000 square kilometers was the defense area of the Rust Expeditionary Force. - In order to cope with the war and also to facilitate the stationing, after the regiment of the Celestial Tour arrived here, the construction began.

……

Construction? A puddle of muddy ground, what is there to build? Indeed, in the eyes of the former garrisons, any road construction here will produce subsidence, and construction will not be possible.

However, in the view of Zeyu, in war, different attitudes will have different results. Direct soil method.

The soil law, in fact, is not soil, but because there are many problems, it has always been regarded as a secondary plan, and if this kind of secondary plan is to be implemented, it is much more troublesome than the normal plan. But not without use.

In such a muddy field, the pontoon policy is carried out, that is, empty barrels are buried in the silt, and the empty barrels are butted with supports to support the sleepers. Each FRP empty barrel can be adjusted by water injection to adjust the buoyancy, if it seeps into the silt, it can also be cleaned by injecting and draining seawater. This requires a large number of people to carry out maintenance work.

The concept of war: The core of war contest is not firepower, not the most front-line things such as troops, but the ability of human society to deal with things in the most intense and difficult times.

Those women of the Star Civilization have always stood in the perspective of the Star Civilization and helped the sub-civilization deal with problems. They did not come to the sub-civilization and deal with the problem at the current level of the sub-civilization.

Zeyou applied for more than a hundred mixers to the rear, as well as explosives, as well as a large amount of fiberglass (plastic and glass wire) rebar. Construction of the road system began. As explosives rumbled to mine limestone, dozens of kilns began to make cement, and at the front, a large number of hulls of cement ship structures began to appear. It has been clearly calculated that this thing can now move slowly through the mud of the tidal flats at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour with buoyancy, and wait until winter is approaching. The ground is frozen porcelain. Load the sled-like sliding bar directly and use the engine to drive the gears to glide on the ground.

Such a construction will obviously be quickly discovered and destroyed in the environment of Fang Xingxing. But the swarm system is now actively "holding its head and crouching" to interfere with the transparency of the atmosphere in the stratosphere. The low-end game can breed the most basic rules of war.

Dozens of departments have been set up to list all the possibilities of various problems, and the responsibilities are assigned to each group. We have built a strict system and organization.

Celestial Tour: "War? - It's not my profession, it's my instinct to deal with crises. ”

……

The battle with insect colonies continues on the southeast side, and in the drier areas of the western part of the wetland.

This is the main battlefield where humans and swarms fight, and there are obviously dozens of times more wreckage on the ground than on Leadwind Island. All the stagnant water was covered in a layer of oil, and the smell of rusty metal and burning rubber filled the area with the unsettling smell of industrial destruction.

The tenacious crystalline biological structure was toppled by the brutal tank, and in the same way, there were tanks punctured by the guided swarm that pierced the protective cover, and the injected fuel burned from the inside out.

In the turret weighing tens of tons, the ball bearings creak and turn, shaking to the target in front. The large four-legged beasts of the swarm are slowly walking across the battlefield. Many of the war beasts on the front line had their thighs broken.

However, the swarm has shown a unique vitality. After some of the thighs of the war beasts rushing to the front line are broken, other war beasts of the same species will stop, and some low small repair beasts will use pliers to pull out the thighs of other war beasts and insert them into the thighs of the injured war beasts. On average, each beast will have seven to eight "legs". So when it comes to cutting legs, well, it's the same as "a man uses scissors to click black hair under his crotch - it's okay to cut as many roots as you want." ”

The insect swarm sent by the Yichang civilization can pollute the atmosphere with nanoparticles, indicating that there is a mature nanoparticle manufacturing industry.

So the swarm uses 'energy weapons' and 'shields'. - Nanoparticles accumulate electromagnetic energy and penetrate each other like a stream of water.

On the battlefield, these metallic war beasts spread their shields and spew hot particle streams to incinerate large swathes of the battlefield, and their attack patterns are the same as those of the War Colossus on the Rock Crystal Star. The outer layer of metal armor of a human tank will be burned red in a matter of seconds.

……

Of course, humanity is not defenseless, in fact, on the planet, when conducting industrial warfare, basic industrial goods can be easily used by the other side.

Humans' smart motorcycles have been roaming the battlefield and throwing weapons, which is very similar to the path of the front-line swarm and low-lying maintenance bugs. When necessary, it will speed up the horsepower and rush directly into it to self-detonate.

Because the motorcycle cluster is something that the speedworm digs its head and changes to the chip control, and then the motion joint is docked to turn the gears and drive the wheels. Transforming the existing swarm species and loading up machinery into battle is almost the consensus of the humans of Coral Star.

……

In this area, the twenty-fifth place in the sequence of commanding operations, the laser knife base.

The front-line chief, the third son of the supreme consul of the laser knife base, Aoyang,

Now the boy stepped on the metal chair next to him with his military boots, yawned, and asked the sequence intelligence on the electromagnetic screen on the side: "Calculate it, the current consumption is our advantage, right?" ”

Sequence Intelligence: "Yes, Aoyang, please keep it up." ”

The third prince rubbed his head with his hand quite boredly, and Xu said, "Then that's it, I'll go to sleep first." Raise a high-level class on the other side and talk to me. ”

For this aristocratic general, the low-level troops of the swarm are like cockroaches, endless, as long as the intelligent sequence fights according to the normal mode, there is no need to bother with it.

[What? You don't have to think about it, you can let the staff spend your brains ,—— be presumptuous, do you want to go down and come up to seek power? For the army to be held in their own hands, the people who are placed at the critical juncture must be determined. The more people, the harder it is to be sure. Of course, it was not only this general Aoyang who was sloppy in the war, but the opposite side was also at the same level. 】

Three hundred and seventy kilometers away, the core of the Swarm Clan, in the golden hall.

It is a human with dragonfly wings on its back, which looks like an elf, and is discussing the military deployment of the sequence faction.

These men look rather futuristic, with sleek ceramic shells embedded in their bodies, and sophisticated auxiliary machinery attached to their feet and backs. The metal spout on its wrist is undoubtedly capable of spraying a stream of high-energy nanoparticles, which can be used to attack or regulate production directly within the hive production system.

perspective, come to the strategic map in front of these juggernators.

Objective analysis: The forward position corps of the laser knife is directly in front of the current Yichang camp corps, but the west side is a tall mountain range, which is generated by plate extrusion, and the east side is the continental shelf of the closed river. The main battlefield is now frontal, and the Eastern Wing Celestial Rangers are not the main opponent in the eyes of the Yiba faction. After all, the various types of machinery in the rust base look very backward.

At this time, the commander of the Yichang camp, Ming Yueli, raised his arm with golden elytra and said to the situation on the frontal battlefield: "They have been consuming our resources, and it is difficult for us to open a new front. ”

Then she pointed to the mountain range on the west side, and narrated: "Here, the attack tunnel we have opened is small in scale, easy to be damaged by shock warheads, and it is difficult to achieve results, and in this ......" She pointed to the east side again, and said slowly: "At present, the human base here is very weak, but before the arrival of winter, the road environment is extremely poor, and we cannot break through." ”

On the projection on the side, the lady with the golden crown (actually the crown prince's crown) glanced at the battlefield and said, "Defense is stronger than offense." It is time to scale back the frontal offensive and build up forces on the eastern flank. ”

Some commanders of the front-line military headquarters, including Ming Yueli, responded in unison: "Yes!" ”

……

In war, most of the time if you take the initiative to attack, the loss will be greater than the defense! For example, in the First World War, some post-mortem historians believe that trench warfare should be fought to gain an advantage in attrition.

In fact, in hindsight, it can be so Zhuge Liang. But in the course of the war, if you take the defensive thinking lightly. That is tantamount to losing the initiative on the battlefield. If there is an attack on your own side, the opposite side will defend, and if there is no offense, full-time defense, attack on the opposite side, it will be extremely sharp strategically.

At the beginning of World War II, France was wrong not about how many resources were consumed by the Maginot line, but about the military's defensive thinking, which allowed the German tank to attack repeatedly. If France can make use of its own automobile resources and form mobile troops, where will it be the turn of Germany's repeated success.

So, just on the front line, the swarm is trying to wait for winter to play.

……

In the muddy tunnels on the front line, in the temporary base formed, Zhou You drew an assault arrow on the strategic map hanging on the wall with a pen, looked at the soldiers sitting straight below, and said: "Attack, you must attack, you must attack, you must be timely, once the conditions are right, immediately, act immediately." Five hours faster than the other side, the chance of winning is ninety, one hour faster, the odds of winning are seventy, if so, procrastinating. ”

Zhou You glanced at everyone and said slowly: "You, me, everyone here, and the entire legion, at most survive one percent, and they are still kneeling!" ”

The officers who were doing it couldn't help but be terrified by this knife-like gaze, but they all thought it was true.

These days, the Celestial Tour is constantly spending resources, buying intelligence from the battlefield on the medium line, bringing all kinds of wreckage for various departments to analyze.

Using its enemy firepower, as well as deployment speed parameters, a detailed campaign prediction model was made.

In military chess drills again and again, the possible consequences of each step were sent to various departments, so that the desks of the officers of each department were full of things to be dealt with.

For example, armor protection is not enough, how much is the shortage? On the side of Zeyou, a special department has made a clear measurement, and the armor has been specially thickened according to the speed of particle burning, as well as the speed of counterattack when your own troops cooperate. The total thickness is reserved for one or two centimeters to ensure that your own ability to maneuver when the armor is sufficient.

Busy, effectively busy, so that everyone has an extremely clear idea of the coming war. It can be said that ordinary non-commissioned officers under the system of Zeuyou have a more competent understanding of the battle situation than officers who have become aristocratic and corrupt like laser knives.

Now, the Rust Expeditionary Force's military chess deduction shows:

The way of playing in the world seems to be very radical, everything is fast, either your own side preempts the advance to defeat the opposite side, or your own side is too slow, and is pushed sideways by the opposite side.

From an objective point of view, the expeditionary force has an advantage, that is, all the officers are generally young people, and the characteristics are that they are bold and new enough to be able to accept the fast-paced, high-standard war mode of all military details.

How bold is the battle plan of the Celestial Tour, a few arrows drawn on the strategic map will form a big circle, the time gap between the arrows is very short, only three or four hours, and the entire campaign process does not exceed forty-eight hours.

When the bayonet sees red, either you die or I die, whoever is sluggish in the scheduling of the battle situation, and who hesitates for a moment in the battle, will perish.

The meeting ended quickly, and Zhou You: "Everyone, within the specified time, hand in the relevant rectification report and the drill opinion report to me." ”

Compared to the rusty operation of the other command departments of Coral, the military organization of the Rusty Expeditionary Force is now like the gears of a high-speed engine, and it is beginning to run at a rapid pace.

Milk tea, a high-sugar drink, has become the standard drink for all officers who stay up late.

Everything is ready, just wait for the autumn breeze to work together!
